52. FEST, Belgrade

Like every year, February passes by while I wait for the news about the start of my favorite film festival, which has been held in Belgrade for 52 years now.
FEST International Film Festival, Belgrade

From when, until when the festival lasts, it's not known, as much as I don't know which films will be shown and which cinema.
I open the program on the page of the FEST website and see that from 23.02 to 3.03, we have a selection of 108 films

So if we watched them non-stop, we wouldn't be able to watch them all.

That's why it's a real challenge for me every year, what to choose to watch. there are various programs, but so far it has been shown that the category "Main competition program" has always had good projections.

Have any of you had the opportunity to watch one of these films?
Do you have any other recommendations? I have to carefully look at the program, read the content of the films, watch the trailers and finally, when we have made the narrowest choice, buy the tickets.
I hope to make a good choice this year.
